Chipboard Screws: Preventing Wood Splitting in Furniture Projects
In furniture and interior assembly, choosing the right fastener is as important as selecting quality boards or fittings. One of the most common problems faced in wood assembly is splitting or cracking of chipboard and MDF panels during screw installation.
At Horizon Inc, we supply high-quality chipboard screws designed to eliminate this problem — ensuring a clean, firm, and durable fastening in every project.
📌 What Are Chipboard Screws?
Chipboard screws are specially designed fasteners meant for particle boards, MDF, and chipboard panels. Their sharp threads and narrow core help minimize splitting while offering strong pull-out strength in softer wood-based panels.
Key Features:
- Sharp, self-tapping threads
- Narrow core diameter
- Deeper thread pitch for better grip in chipboard
- Optional corrosion-resistant coatings
📌 Why Wood Splitting Happens
Wood splitting typically occurs when:
- Screws are installed too close to the edge of the board
- The core diameter of the screw is too large for the material
- Fasteners with blunt or inconsistent threads are used
- Pre-drilling is skipped where required
- Inferior quality screws with rough finishes or sharp edges are applied
This leads to damaged panels, weak joints, and additional costs in rework or material replacement.
📌 How Horizon Inc Chipboard Screws Prevent This
Our chipboard screws are specifically engineered for:
- Smooth penetration with sharp points and precision-cut threads
- Minimized material displacement to avoid board cracking
- Superior grip and holding power in chipboard and MDF
- Consistent size and finish for even, reliable installations
We stock options with yellow zinc, nickel, or black oxide finishes for various aesthetic and corrosion-resistance requirements.
